I use a variety of email addresses but since i moved onto a new lap-top, and to Outlook 2010, i can only see the inbox of ONE account. I am having to log into servers to find the other emails. HOW can i see all my emails? I have tried the help, all the menu items, but can find no way to add these emails into my inbox. VERY frustating
